New Model Numbers and Display Resolutions Uncovered
OVR+ identified four upcoming Pixel 12 devices in the GSMA IMEI database: Pixel 12 (model GC0QU), Pixel 12 Pro (GWU59), Pixel 12 Pro XL (G7U1Y) and Pixel 12 Pro Fold (G4D5D). The listings also include screen-panel resolutions for each model. The base Pixel 12 is shown with a 1,080 × 2,400 pixel display, the Pixel 12 Pro with 1,280 × 2,824 pixels, the Pixel 12 Pro XL with 1,344 × 2,952 pixels, and the Pixel 12 Pro Fold’s inner screen with 2,296 × 2,404 pixels.
How the Resolutions Differ From Prior Generations
All three non-foldable models display a modest reduction in vertical pixel count compared with their Pixel 11 counterparts (Pixel 11: 1,080 × 2,424; Pixel 11 Pro: 1,280 × 2,856; Pixel 11 Pro XL: 1,344 × 2,992). The width of the Pro XL model increases slightly, resulting in a new aspect-ratio balance that is marginally more compact. OVR+ notes that such shifts typically indicate a redesign of the panel rather than a simple reuse of older screens, potentially to improve one-handed reach, accommodate larger batteries, or enhance thermal performance.
Implications for Google’s Foldable Strategy
The Pixel 12 Pro Fold’s inner display gains roughly 24 % more pixels than the Pixel 11 Pro Fold (2,296 × 2,404 vs. 2,076 × 2,152). Despite the higher resolution, the aspect ratio remains near-square, mirroring the design used for four consecutive generations. Analysts cited in the leak suggest Google is favoring a tall, vertical layout that benefits reading and vertical content, while avoiding the wider-screen challenges that have affected some Android competitors’ foldables.
Official Confirmation and Outlook
Google has publicly denied confirmation of any of the leaked specifications. The source cautions that model numbers and panel data may change between IMEI registration and retail launch, describing the figures as early engineering data rather than final hardware. If the reported resolutions hold, the company is expected to address the new aspect ratios during its Pixel 12 announcement, projected for the fall season, alongside updates to its Tensor chipset, AI features, and camera system.
